About the Role

As part of Technical Operations, you’ll help define how modern conformity assessment bodies function - bringing the same rigour regulators expect, with the efficiency and innovation of a technology company.

This is a highly varied and intellectually demanding role. You’ll work across regulatory, technical, and operational domains to help design, run, and optimise the processes that allow Scarlet to operate as a Notified Body under the EU MDR and beyond.

You’ll collaborate closely with engineers, product managers, regulatory experts, and commercial teams. Over time, you’ll become a leading expert in your domain and have the opportunity to contribute to shaping how digital health and AI medical devices are regulated globally.

What the Job Involves

• Translate regulation into systems: Decompose regulatory and standards requirements (e.g. EU MDR, ISO 17021, etc) into clear, operational processes that can be implemented and automated.

• Own and optimise core compliance processes: Operate and continuously improve Scarlet’s processes for maintaining regulatory designations, including competence management and certification processes.

• Collaborate with Product and Engineering: Work alongside internal teams to design and build tools that make regulatory compliance efficient, auditable, and scalable.

• Manage regulatory data: Harness compliance data to drive better decisions across the organisation.

• Grow into a subject-matter expert: Develop deep expertise in specific regulatory domains (e.g. software and AI medical devices) and contribute to regulatory strategy and thought leadership.

Who You Are

• 3–5 years of experience in operational or analytical roles, in a start-up, scale-up, or other fast-moving environment. Ideally experience working in a compliance role, or in a regulated industry.

• Technical skills: You have exposure to scripting languages (Python/JavaScript) or automation tools.

• Analytical and systems thinker: You can deconstruct complex systems - technical, regulatory, or operational - and design pragmatic, elegant solutions.

• Ambiguity translator: You enjoy being confronted with ambiguous problems or contexts, and can extract the essentials accurately.

• Ferociously curious: You dig deep to understand how things work, challenge assumptions, and bring new perspectives.

• Excellent communicator: You write and speak clearly, structure your thinking, and can explain complex topics simply.

• Collaborative operator: You thrive working with multidisciplinary teams - from engineers to legal and quality experts.

• High agency: You see problems as opportunities, you hunt down new problems and solve them before they materialise.
